What happened this past week?
Positives
- MSCI Thailand reported the 2nd largest inflow of $133mn after MSCI Philippines
- Thai Constitutional Courts throw out petitions
- Ireland issues bonds (yes it was last week but I don’t believe this is getting enough press, only 2 years since its wipeout and its already issuing bonds at yields lower than Spain)
- AOT continued to post an impressive YoY air traffic growth in June. Passengers increased by 13% YoY to 5,473,106 people
- New E100bn credit line available to Spain
- Global Central Banks cut rates, risk on!
Negatives
- Global Central Banks cut rates, economic slowdown hmm?
- China’s GDP continues to slow downs, GDP decelerated to +7.6%Y (vs. expectations of +7.7%) from 8.1%Y in 1Q.
